Aesthetic Skin Treatments with Alma HarmonyXL AFT Laser (IPL)

Tag Archives: med spa los angeles

Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Gary Motykie, provides state of the art non-surgical treatments for women and men. The medspa is equipped with advanced technologies such as the Alma HarmonyXL AFT laser system. This technology is designed to achieve effective aesthetic outcomes without posing any risk or causing any significant discomfort or pain to the patient. Patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding areas can receive this laser treatment at the Motykie Medical Spa.

Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT)

AFT is the next generation of intense pulsed light. It takes previously unused short wavelength light and transforms it into a part of the usable spectrum through a special filtering system. In simpler words, this means that the emission and targeted penetration of the lasers is enhanced and safer and more effective results can be achieved.
AFT also delivers Equally Distributed Fluence (EDF). This means that every single pulse has uniform energy density across the entire output area. The aesthetic outcomes are more consistent and smoother looking. The “fluence” ensures that the results can be repeated with multiple treatments, and the safety quotient remains remarkably high. Skin damage is minimal, discomfort is much reduced, and overall efficiency of results is very high.

Laser Treatment for Vascular and Pigmented Lesions

HarmonyXL laser technology allows for non-surgical, quick and effective treatment for vascular and pigmented lesions. Almost every adult has one or more pigmented lesion. These may be caused due to aging, sun exposure or other factors. In some cases, the lesions may be present by birth. These lesions are essentially spots on the skin where the concentration of melanin is high.
For benign pigmented lesions that may cause cosmetic concern to many people, the HarmonyXL technology provides an effective, non-surgical solution. Dr. Motykie’s medspa is equipped with this technology, and patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities have an opportunity to receive this treatment at the facility.
The treatment provider will expose the pigmented lesion to short pulses of light, with an aim to raise the temperature in the melanin concentration. With a controlled application of laser heat, the cells carrying the melanin will be shattered. The body will gradually replace these unwanted cells with new, healthy cells generated by the surrounded healthy tissue. The AFT technology can be used to treat pigmented lesions on any skin type because of its unique wavelength and pulse width capabilities.

Key Advantages

Alma’s HarmonyXL AFT laser technology offers several benefits over other typical non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments.

The results with this treatment are highly effective for reduction of pigmented lesions.
The treatment is completely non-surgical and safe.
Applicable for all skin types.
No anesthesia and not even any topical or numbing agents are required.
The treatment time is less than 30 minutes, which can easily fit into the schedule of busy people.
No downtime is involved, and the patient is ready to resume their regular activities immediately.

Motykie Medical Spa is a premier facility providing this innovative and proven treatment for superficial vascular and pigmented skin irregularities.

Laser hair removal treatment is widely considered to be the most effective and long lasting solution for unwanted hair. People who are dissatisfied or unhappy with traditional treatments such as waxing, tweezing, or shaving may choose laser hair removal with a reputed medspa.
One of the leading facilities for this treatment is Motykie Medical Spa, which is equipped with advanced laser technologies to provide laser hair removal in a safe and effective manner. Patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby locations may receive laser hair removal and other non-surgical aesthetic treatments at the facility.

Long Lasting Results

Many people are unhappy with the growth of unwanted hair in various parts of the body, including the face, arms, legs, back, and when they wear a bikini. The growth of hair in these areas may occur due to genetic reasons, fluctuation of hormone levels, certain types of drugs, or other causes. Temporary relief can be obtained through the use of conventional solutions such as waxing, tweezing, or shaving.
However, these treatments can cause pain and discomfort, and produce less effective and short-term results only. Laser hair removal treatment from a reputed medspa is the proven and long lasting solution for the problem of unwanted hair. Laser treatment does not need to be repeated often like other treatments, and the patient can enjoy excellent aesthetic results for a long time.

Who is a Terrific Candidate?

A standout and/or ideal candidate for laser based hair removal treatment is someone with darker hair and lighter complexion of the skin. The laser beam light will get absorbed by the dark pigmentation in the hair, causing its disintegration from the root. The focus of the laser is very precise, which protects the surrounding healthy tissue against potential damage.
Laser experts at the Motykie Medical Spa will evaluate the suitability of a candidate before recommending laser hair removal treatment to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and other locations.

Procedure

The laser hair removal expert will deliver the sharp beam of intense laser light to the targeted hair using a laser tip, which is placed directly over the targeted area. The laser energy penetrates through the top layers of the skin and gets absorbed by the hair follicle pigment. This heat energy weakens the unwanted hair from its root. The hair comes off from the skin gradually on its own.
The procedure is almost entirely painless, but some experts will use a local anesthetic gel or cream for better patient comfort. Best results with laser hair removal can be achieved with about three to six treatment sessions. The number of treatments needed by an individual will depend on factors such as treatment area, hair type, density, color, and pattern of growth.

Recovery

Laser hair removal does not involve any downtime, and the patient is ready to resume their regular activities immediately. The risk of side effects is nearly non-existent with laser treatment as long as it is performed by a certified expert. The patient should avoid direct exposure to sunlight for several weeks after the treatment.

Botox is a temporary anti-aging injectable treatment to reduce the wrinkles and lines on the face. The effects of Botox may last for about four to six months, depending on various factors. The striking aspect about Botox is that the treatment can be repeated under a doctor’s guidance to prolong the benefits. Motykie Medical Spa is a certified Botox provider for patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding areas. See Botox Before and After Photos

Variations in Effectiveness

The results with Botox treatment can vary from patient to another even at the same medspa. An experienced Botox provider will advise patients at the outset that the treatment may remain effective for about four to six months. With clear information, the patient is in a better position to make an appropriate choice of treatment.
The results may last for a relatively lesser duration for patients with deeper frown lines. These patients tend to have stronger muscles, which results in the motion of the muscle returning back to normal faster than for those who have less bulky muscles in the forehead.

Longer Effects with Repeat Treatments

As the muscle action returns back to normal in a gradual manner over a period of four to six months, the facial wrinkles and lines will appear again. This can be addressed with repeat treatments under the supervision of a Botox expert at a reputed medical spa. With the passage of time, the appearance of wrinkles and lines tends to become less severe in many cases with repeat Botox treatments. This happens because the muscles are being repeatedly trained to relax.
The return of the muscle movement can be noticed prior to the deepening of the furrows caused by the contraction movements. That is the most appropriate time to go back to the medspa for a repeat treatment of Botox. This ensures that the lines or furrows are treated before they worsen.

Botox Before and After Photos

Botox is one of the most popular FDA-approved non-surgical treatments to reduce the signs of aging from the face. Patients who are reluctant to choose surgical procedures such as a facelift may consider Botox is a temporary but effective anti-aging solution
Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Gary Motykie, provides Botox treatment to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities. Patients will have access to Botox before and after photographs at the medspa during the initial consultation to know what the procedure can or cannot do for them, and make an informed and balanced decision.

What are Botox Before and After Pictures?

Before and after pictures in case of Botox treatment refer to a pair or group of images belonging to a patient who has previously received the same treatment successfully. The pictures are taken prior to the Botox injectable treatment and after the treatment at a time when full effects of the procedure are visible on the face. The Botox provider will present these pictures discreetly to new patients and only after obtaining the consent of the original patient.
The goal of the doctor is to educate new patients about the potential effectiveness of Botox injections to address their facial problems of wrinkles and lines. Botox ‘before and after’ images serve as a useful visual aid in this process to help ensure that the patient clearly understands various aspects of the procedure so they know what door they are possibly about to open and so there is not any alarming surprises when the procedure is completed. There is not any doctor who wants to face a shocked and highly agitated patient, certainly not after the surgery is performed.

Benefits

A new patient who is planning to receive Botox treatment for the very first time may not have a transparent or clear idea of how Botox may help improve their facial appearance and make the facial skin appear more youthful. Some patients may need only minimal Botox treatment in a specific area such as frown lines on the forehead, while others may need the treatment in multiple areas. In some cases, the Botox treatment may be combined with another procedure for more comprehensive results.
The patient may find it difficult to choose the most appropriate treatment approach in their particular case. This is where the treatment provider at the medspa can make use of Botox before and after photos and ensure that the patient makes the best choices to match with their personal aesthetic goals. Patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles and other areas may visit Motykie Medical Spa for a Botox consultation.

Realistic Expectations

In any surgical or non-surgical aesthetic procedure, the patient will typically achieve the best levels of satisfaction when they have a positive thought process, clear aesthetic goals and realistic expectations. With the help of Botox before and after photos, the Botox expert can ensure that the patient knows exactly what to expect and what not to expect from the treatment. This mitigates the risk of any misunderstanding or disappointment occurring later on for the patient.

Digital Photos

Botox ‘before and after’ photos can also be provided on the official website of the medical spa. New patients can simply access the photos on the website even before they decide whether to visit the medspa for a personal Botox consultation.

Nancy Davis’ 21^st Annual Race to Erase MS Fundraiser
It was our honor to attend Nancy Davis’ annual dinner and auction to help raise money to find a cure for MS on May 2nd at the Century Plaza Hotel. We joined nearly 2000 other people who were there to support Nancy’s two decade long crusade to help find a cure for this terrible disease that afflicts so many people. Motykie Med Spa was part of the lavish silent auction items – from jewelry to hotel stays around the world – that filled an entire ballroom. It was thrilling to hear that the hard work is paying off. When the charity started there were No drugs to treat MS. With the help of The Race’s “Center without Walls” there are now nine!

“I had my first treatment of “Cool Sculpting” today! Yes! I am so excited! Until very recently I hadn’t heard of a way that I could have effectively and permanently reduced the amount of that super hard to lose fat around my lower abdomen without having to go through and invasive and costly procedure like Liposuction, to be honest I have this little bit of fat left over from my weight loss that I just couldn’t get rid of. I would catch a side view of my profile and eek! you know that bump that just peeks out causing me to look like I stuffed a small pillow down the front of my pants, you know the look I mean…! It is not pretty people! I have lived this way for very long time, with my weight going up and down and my war with weight loss raging on, I finally had the opportunity to try a (what I now have come to love) new procedure called “Cool Sculpting” a non-Invasive procedure that can be used anywhere on your body to help reduce your body fat in areas that are hard or in my case nearly impossible to lose, genius right?, for me that area was my lower abdominal area or the “Puffy Pillow Zone! as I like to call it.” Cool Sculpting literally feels like someone is pinching your flabby bits kinda hard! I experienced a minimal amount of tingling during the first few minutes of the procedure but after about 10 minutes the area being treated goes numb and you only feel pressure I was able to lie back use my cell phone watch a movie and close my eyes and relax, I ended up taking selfies with the staff and hamming it up a bit. Trisha my nurse, made me feel very comfortable, her engaging attitude and knowledge of the procedure itself put any questions I had to rest. I was very impressed with the services overall, my treatment lasted for an hour and I was back up dressed and back to my day, I am feeling great, I am little tender in the area I had treated, I am sitting up and walking around there is no pain no discomfort, You should drink a lot of water after and during the procedure a little hydration is always good. My experience at Motykie Medspa was great! The facility is gorgeous, the medical and spa staff were amazing , this procedure is amazing! I would highly recommend this to anyone considering an alternative to Liposuction for sure!”

4/18/2014:
“So it’s the day after my CoolSculpting treatment, I am more tender and I have developed a small bruise on my right side but I am not uncomfortable I feel good I am up and walking about and going about my routine without much strain or effort at all! If it wasn’t the weekend I am sure Id go to work after my treatment without hesitation! Crazy!!”

Botox, produced with botulinum toxin, is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments to reduce unwanted wrinkles and fine lines from certain areas of the face. Motykie Medical Spa is one of the leading providers of Botox treatment for patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas.
The med spa is led by board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Gary Motykie, and provides state of the art facilities for non-invasive and minimally invasive anti-aging and other aesthetic procedures. Botox is recommended to suitable candidates who are bothered by the visible signs of aging on their face, but are keen to avoid surgical solutions.

A Unique Benefit of Botox

In addition to its aesthetic benefits, Botox is also used for certain medical purposes such as reduction of excessive sweating, managing chronic migraines and controlling involuntary twitching of eyelids. Motykie Medical Spa is committed to keeping its patients well-informed about the latest innovations and advancements with regard to Botox usage. Dr. Motykie believes in educating his patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and other locations so that they are in a position to make the most appropriate choices to meet their aesthetic goals.
In this endeavor to keep his patients abreast with the latest developments in the field, Dr. Motykie points out one of the newest revelations about Botox. A recently published research book, which has been lauded by the New York Times as the “first authorized biography” of Botox, has suggested that Botox could be an effective cure for depression, in addition to its usual aesthetic benefits.
The book called “In the Face of Emotion” states that a procedure such as Botox, which is performed by a certified med spa Botox provider, can result in improving the mental make-up of the patient and reinvigorate their relationships with others. While most people are aware about the unique anti-aging benefits of Botox, but this new discovery that Botox can also make the patient get rid of any signs of depression, is new information that potential patients should know.

Connection between Emotions and Muscles

Experienced Botox providers are usually aware that Botox treatments can help their patient become more cheerful than before. However, now scientists are providing a solid scientific basis to this belief, and are linking the effect to reduction of facial wrinkles and fine lines. For instance, frown muscles on the forehead typically cause wrinkles and aging lines in the area.
These lines are also called expression lines, which may typically express negative emotions such as anger, frustration, sadness, or anxiety. With the application of Botox in the targeted areas of the forehead, the physical formation of the expressions required to show the negative emotions is prevented. The muscles that were causing the frown become temporary paralyzed due to Botox injections. This effectively helps mitigate negative emotions because they expression is physically denied.

Darwin’s Theory

Charles Darwin suggested in a theory way back in 17^th century that facial muscles not only cause expression of emotions, but they also have a role to play in how an individual perceives and experiences those emotions. Darwin said that if the illustration of such feelings is curbed, the natural response to such feelings will also be reduced.

Dr. Gary Motykie, a Beverly Hills-based, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon emphasizes the importance of health to his patients when determining whether or not they will be a good candidate for surgery. Prior to becoming a surgeon, Dr Motykie was a fitness expert, personal trainer and avid body builder.
While he realizes that nobody is perfect, he does his best to encourage his patients and everyone to do their best to practice living a well-balanced life.

Willing to turn away a patient that isn’t a good candidate for surgery

Whether an individual’s health is currently compromised or they are not willing to make necessary long-term lifestyle changes, don’t be shocked to learn that he will often turn people away for surgery.
Dr. Motykie is willing to say no to surgery and offers advice to such candidates in hopes that they will begin to make better health and fitness choices. He is wise enough to know that a healthy patient makes a better patient because they will heal faster and their results will be most optimal.

How do you know if you are a good candidate for plastic surgery?

Dr. Motykie has spent the past 10 years dedicated to designing an integrative approach to health, wellness, nutrition and surgery in the hopes of taking plastic surgery to the next level of evolution in the beauty and anti-aging industry. He can’t stress enough that “everyone has something to detox from” whether it be environmental factors, food allergies, medications or lifestyle choices. The before and after slide of the patient’s recent eye surgery reinforces this theory. This particular patient had recently discovered that she had a severe Gluten allergy so happened to be detoxing for over a month by not only an elimination diet, to starve her system of sugar, but also totally avoided caffeine and alcohol. As the photos prove, healing occurs quickly when you are at the hands of a gifted surgeon and your body is performing optimally.
